Recycling poland spring water, having problems!?

Question

I have been recycling for the longest time, and been saving loads of these poland spring water bottles. Now I want to get rid of them and recycle them but it says that they have to be recycled in main on them (ME 5c Refund), but I live in massachusetts and its quite a long drive there, I want to know is there another way to send them in like by mail or something? If so, please explain

Answer 1

If you are purchasing them in Massachusetts then they are not charging you the CRV, and you can take them to a local recycler.

However if Maine is like California, they buy the plastic bottles back by the pound and not for the 5c deposit.

Answer 2

just put them in your regular recycling - like with your cans and paper goods.  you won't get the 5 cent deposit back (but you didn't pay it when you bought the water either).  unless you need to go to Maine for something else anyway, i wouldn't bother driving there.

Answer 3

You can probably call the company and ask them? There is usually a 800 number on the bottle. Besides, they don't know who buys them there and who doesn't. I think cities who do that because they want to make sure they're recycled and the city stays clean :}

Good Luck
